Makes Elon sense
Colonialism built south africa the ANC destroyed south africa
In Nigeria, the older generation used to say, the country was better run under the UK. The saying went, “It’s better to have the barking dog, than the sleeping lion.” Nigeria is also very corrupt now.
It’s ok for Israel to be segregated, but not for South Africa.
here's an idea. they can build nice houses also.
I'm a nurse and last year I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a stay at home mom homeschooling and making profits every week.
It’s everywhere look at Dubai.. you’d be very surprised
😢😢
I am visiting South Africa and find your video helpful and well-done.
This divide between rich and poor is a reality all over the world, with people moving from rural areas to live in informal settlements close to established towns and cities, where work is available for them – at businesses and at homes. Some of these residents in Western Cape – living in shacks, still are keeping their land (which they visit often); with animals and properly built homes; in the fertile Eastern Cape, where they had been residing permanently previously. Some are migrants – from all over Africa – in search of a better life. Some had been farm workers, who had lost their livelihood, since thousands of farmers in SA had already been chased away from farming. A problem is the lack of proper planning; to for example establish roads and supply basic services; before people settle themselves randomly wherever they please.
״אבל אבל ישראל״
This makes it seem like the British just decided to institute apartheid, whereas in reality it was a demand of the afrikaners (Dutch settlers) who wanted more segregation.
9:50 Lady take several seats
This Video seems to imply that its white peoples fault that these people are still poor ? And that is just not true no one told those people to put up shacks on top of each other, the district six thing is true but no one put shacks up for them, they went and did it themselves, its been 30 years and the billionaires or rather the black billionaires do nothing to help their own people
good vs bad
What this video fails to mention is the white population has decreased by half since 1994. From 13% to mere 7% today…
So how does the black ANC ruled government still have racial issues and economic deparities between a rising black community on a diminishing minority race??
That doesn't make sense logically. If whites are leaving the county and the government still doesn't help the poor & inequalities… They making it worse by stealing everything for themselves.
Do a video on the ANC…. Why has no one done a documentary on the ANC rule post 1994?? Only pre 1994… The "struggle"
Why not after 1994 to current day on how they have run SA into the ground, that they are a fully corrupt criminal organization that steals and dismantles everything they "govern"
I wonder why no documentary has been done on ANC rule in SA?? Come on Vox we waiting.
There so many chapters, rise to power, failed state enterprises, racial laws, failed infrastructure, before and after pics of Joburg, crime rate… Captured state, billions of rands dissappear… And more.
While asian and European nations have grown and developed through hard work, transparency, safety, legal certainty, long term investing and respect; blacks continue to do what they know best: Improve at nothing and play the victim card.
My question is very simple what gave Britain and the Dutch the authority to take somebody else's land?
Hmm
Because non natives came there and forced themselves the land. Why is that so hard to understand
You know that people in townships can also rent property on the other side?? I used to have a colleague who earned more than I did. Our employer would've paid for him to get his drivers license and then he wouldve been able to earn even more. He chose not to, because he did not want the responsibility. The majority of my salary went to pay my rent and for vehicle expenses like fuel and maintenance. What was left I used for food etc. My colleague preferred to stay in the township, because living expenses in townships are wáy less…in the end it is our own choice. Are we happy to stay in the situation we are in or do we want change. The biggest problem in south africa is the intitlement mentality, and the ANC loves it! Life owes us nothing, life is hard. It is like a millstone that keeps on grinding. If you can't keep up, the millstone does not stop. I do not get handouts, my parents can't bail me out. During covid the emergency fund was not for white businesses with no BEE status, we had to push through, make a plan and stay on our knees.
And some people are saying that South Africans are racist against whites
The British just couldn't be happy with their own country they just take take take
It is not race, it is economic class. Race would actively prevent class movements.
Good. One is netter than the other. Keeping the animals at bay. Why dont they do all those things for themselves they can but wont.
The problem lies with goverment and mostly comfort
And now the country is being destroyed
Don't spread misinformation – do a new geographical map of where the wealth are now – not 'white people'
It's called informal settlement. These were squatters.
South Africa has had their independence for over 30 years get over it !
Its just black culture, it really is, I can prove it, look what happen to Germany before ww2, you think money solved it? no, it was a cultural shift, both areas built by the same material, but you know who built them? blacks built on the left side while whites built on the right side, why? because white people have a higher iq and better genes to come up with what they built while the other evolved from mud huts and didnt evolve like how the europeans did, they were mostly hunter gatherers
